Solving Thumb Tension on the Violin 

Clicked on a random video and end up finding a diamond for my violin technique, this video should be watched by all violinists!

Thank you ! Mrs.Keys! This is excellant instruction for me. My 4th grade Violin instructor told me that I was choking my violins neck! I felt to ashamed and embarrased!! All those 40 years I let go of playing the instrument. Over the last 10 years Ive picked it up again. Thank you for this simple anti thumb exercise! Most greatful!❤❤

This episode is a lifesaver. I have been dealing with tension issues since a car accident that happened in 2005. The tension goes away for days but it comes back sometimes. I’ll work on these exercices. I’m sure it will be life changing

Thank you. Thumb tension is a daily battle for me. Ironic, really, as it's the only left-hand digit that never plays a note, yet it's the one giving me most of the trouble!

Thank you so much for sharing this!

Bayla Keye's students are Very fortunate!

Wonderful! Different approach to fix the thumb and index fingers.

the thumb squeezes because the player perceives the instrument is unstable, its a shoulder/chin rest issue
